Active Sync - What attributes to set in UserMap

Question

I am have written an active sync adapter for MySQL Table. I am not sure what attributes to add in the user map object that is passed in the list of updates.
I get the following error:
The result of submitting the message - com.waveset.exception.FormValidation: Validation errors detected in form.
My Code is as follows:
private List getUpdateRows(Map lastProcessedRow) throws WavesetException {
final String method = "getUpdateRows";
TRACE.entry3(method);
Connection conn = getConnection();
ResultSet rslt = null;
Statement stmt = null;
List listOfUpdatedUsers = new ArrayList();
String query = "select id, password, first_name, last_name, email, department, users_event.event " +
" from users, users_event " +
"where users_event.updated = 0 and users.id = users_event.user_id";
try {
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rslt = stmt.executeQuery(query);
if(null == rslt) {
Message msg = new Message("NULL resultset returned on query execution");
throw new WavesetException(msg);
while(rslt.next()) {
HashMap userMap = new HashMap();
userMap.put("name", rslt.getString(1));
userMap.put("password", rslt.getString(2));
userMap.put(AA_FIRST_NAME, rslt.getString(3));
userMap.put(AA_LAST_NAME, rslt.getString(4));
userMap.put("email", rslt.getString(5));
userMap.put(AA_DEPARTMENT, rslt.getString(6));
if("delete".equals(rslt.getString(7))) {
userMap.put(ATTR_IS_DELETED, "true");
listOfUpdatedUsers.add(userMap);
} catch (Exception e) {
Message msg = new Message("Unable to get list of updated rows " + e.getMessage());
throw new WavesetException(msg);
} finally {
TRACE.exit3(method);
return listOfUpdatedUsers;

TRACE.entry2( METHOD );
int numProcessed = 0;
if (list != null) {
final int listSize = list.size();
util.logString(IAPI.TRACELEVEL_INFO,
"processUpdates: " +
listSize +

int currentRowCount = 0;
Iterator it = list.iterator();
while (it.hasNext() && !_util.isStopRequested()) {

if ( isFeatureEnabled(Features.CONTINUE_ON_ERROR) ){
util.logString( IAPI.TRACELEVEL_WARNING,
message );
continue;
} else {
throw new WavesetException(message);
// If deletes aren't detected by a resource, the following

boolean wasDelete = false;

options.put(IAPI.OPTION_DELETE_EVENT_DETECTED, Boolean.TRUE);
wasDelete = true;
util.logString( IAPI.TRACELEVEL_INFO, "About to process userMap \n");
// IAPIFactory will use the resource configuration, options,

util.logString( IAPI.TRACELEVEL_INFO, "Retrieved event object after processing userMap \n");
// If deletes aren't detected by a resource, the following
// block should be removed.
if ( (event == null) && wasDelete ){
// identity is used here as an example, replace with
// whatever identifying attribute or attributes are
// appropriate for the resource.
util.logString(IAPI.TRACELEVEL_INFO,
"Received delete for user " +
identity +
" not in IdM. Ignoring.\n");
if (event != null) {
++numProcessed;
event.setLogger(_util.getLogger());
WavesetResult result = event.submit(); //This method returns an error message
util.logString( IAPI.TRACELEVEL_INFO, " The result of submitting the message - " + result.getErrorMessage());
// Log the result of submitting the current event.
logUpdate(IAPI.TRACE_LEVEL_INFO,userMap,result);
} // else nothing to do with the current row.
TRACE.exit2(METHOD, numProcessed);
return numProcessed;
Please let me know the list of attributes that need to be set in the userMap objects.
Thanks

It looks like that the information than goe through ActiveSync form. Examples of such forms are at /homeDir/idm-staging/samples. More information can be found in documenatation Sun™ Identity Manager 8.0
